Toronto could have its first east-west separated bike lanes within a year if the public works and infrastructure committee accepts a new report calling for a total reworking of the cycling facilities on Wellesley Street and Hoskin Avenue. If adopted and approved by city council later this month, new curved curbs like the ones presently [...]

Oh my god I love this!!! Legum launched Dial-a-Wrench earlier this month. It’s a simple idea: give her a call at 416-825-0358, tweet her, or write on the Dial-a-Wrench Facebook page and she’ll come to you with a complement of tools and fix what ails your bike. Her service area is St. Clair to the [...]

Spotted this great sign on a bike the other day! Did you know that BikingToronto is on Instagram? It’s true!
Down at City Hall, they chase gravy trains and fight a war on (or for) the car—and show respect for certain areas of the city by promising their residents underground transit. At some point, it seems that politics in Toronto passed into the realm of almost pure symbolism. This is especially true in the case of [...]
Getting in my Bixi Toronto Jarvis bikelane rides while I can. Did you know that BikingToronto is on Instagram? It’s true!
If you are a fair-weather cyclist extending your riding reach, you might be surprised to notice that a lot of cyclists who ride in all weather situations continue to be cavalier about proper lighting. They also ignore the little bits of extra reflective gear that keep us visible to others in low light, bad weather, [...]

Earlier today we linked to Hyedie’s recap of the Poutine Ride this past Sunday. A couple of great gals from Torontoist (Hi Racheal! Hi Gillian!) came out to ride with us, learn about our Sweet Rides and take photos. Here is their piece: Is there a best way to celebrate the last beautiful Sunday of [...]
The TTC is unveiling new streetcars, which even include space to store bikes! Intermodal transit for the win! Though we’ve already been introduced to many of the streetcars’ new features, some are worth highlighting again. The most noticeable is just how much bigger the new vehicles are: about twice as long as the ones we’re [...]
The latest of our 2012 Sweet Rides took place on Sunday (we savoury’d it up with some Poutine), and Hyedie has a great re-cap of the ride up: The last Sweet Ride was originally set for mid-October so that we could take in the fall colours, but the weather didn’t cooperate so we postponed the [...]

Interesting viewpoint from the Toronto Standard on the whole Jarvis thing: People are, of course, entitled to have an emotional response to political issues, and, in many ways, such a response is natural and to be expected.
